Well, I survived day two. Not without tears. But I survived.
We had a surprise visitor today. Pastor John came to visit. What a great surprise.
I'm not really cut out for salon life. I cannot and will not make any more off-the-cuff references about business school. In a former life, I was really good at the minute details of a business. In a former life, I enjoyed the minutia. But now...not so much.
The highlight of my day, aside from talking with my pastor and the Methodist pastor in Hammonton, was talking to a man who was drinking a beer "covertly" out of a brown paper bag. And talking to random people this morning at the train station who just needed to talk. That is the stuff I was made to do.
Ironically, that is what, at one time, was my nightmare. I hated having to talk to people.
The lesson that I'm learning is that I cannot define myself by the "I am's" that I have used for so long. I have a grasp on who I was. Learning who I am, who I am becoming, well that is a daily adventure. I'm really enjoying it.
